What a second set!
Never been a fan of Donna but she really stepped up in Jerry's absence in the second set. Unfortunately Jerry's voice never really sounded the same after this show.

Truckin is insane.
11/6/77 might be slightly better for the period, but not by much. 5 stars for this balls-to-the-wall Truckin!

OUTSTANDING!
Even though Jerry's voice is totally shot....hence the Weir Dominated second set song selection, this show rocks. Second set is smokin hot, and TRUCKIN is unbelievable.

truckin!!!!
This show contains one of the most ferocious Truckin's of all time; maybe only rivaled by 11/6/77. It goes on and on...building and building, then just EXPLODES. Typical 78' fanning and high energy from Jerry. But that's just one song...the rest of the show is only par at best. That is how many 78' shows are. And by the way, Donna's lest show wasn't till Feburary of 1979, over a year later.

lost in space
I love the last half of the second set this show, Estimated-TOO is sick. Jerry's voice adds to the whole vibe of this show. Definitely a unique feel. Not a soul melting experience, but worth a listen. It's a fun show. Would have given it a four except Bobby's joke was less than hilarious.

Phil Breaks a String worth the download
check out Bobs Joke, truly rare banter with the folks.. Phil busts a string. Enjoy! Great show, nice representation of one of Donna G's last shows.

a good one
this is a good show from a very underrated month of GD....jan. 78. Lazy>supp. is a really good version as stated, but i think the real kicker is the other one>truckin'. dispite a small flip durin the first verse this other one is just on fire, jerry really goes aggresive toward the middle of he jam, more so than he would normaly. Then the segue into truckin' is done very well and the truckin itself is a real smoker. an inversion of the usual Truckin'>Other one segues. Cant give this show 5 stars because jerry doesnt sing much ( or very well), but will stand behind a very solid 4 stars....check out 1/31 in Chicago for another over looked show in this great month of GD!

Good Opening to a Great Year
Had to get in here and plug in my four stars. Can't believe this one's getting no love... LL>S is well done, lots of energy and Jerry nails the interior jam. The main Playin jam kind of meanders with Jerry noodling away over a very repetitious chug from the rest of the fellas. Keith rescues this one with help from Phil and they're able to aim the bus into a great Estimated entry jam. The Other One and the Truckin are the other highlights. Jerry drops many Truckin riffs during the first post-verse jam of TOO, letting the boys know where this one's headed. Donna really growls in the last bit of TOO and it sounds really good! 4 stars for the show, and a very listenable source!

Short and dull. If you think this is good wait till you hear 2 shows later in San Diego, Yes Jerry was still not singing at all, at that one but what a guitar backup of all Bob tunes !

Good Start to 1978
Im kind of surprised no one has reviewed this one. Its pretty good. The production could have used little more bass end and some less high end on the final mix. But its allot better than other shows in the same time frame. I always judge a show by the length of certain songs, Dark Star, Terrapin Station, and Playing. This helps me gauge the nature of the bands experimental mood that day. I really like what the guys did to Estimated Prophet, a very jazzy prelude (~5min.) into the main lyrics. Many cuts are very fluid and have some interesting dynamics. The creativity defiantly is demonstrated at this show. I have seen a few shows prior to 1978 but this was the year I signed up for a long strange trip. For me it happened at the ROCKS in July and August 1978.
